Before Xia Zhiyi could get angry, Fu Chi spoke first, "It wasn't me back then."
Xia Zhiyi paused slightly.
If it were anyone else standing here right now, whoever it was, unless it was Xia Zhiyi, their first reaction upon hearing Fu Chi's words would probably be. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
But standing here now is Xia Zhiyi.
Therefore, although Fu Chi's words seemed somewhat inexplicable, Xia Zhiyi, who was experienced in this area, immediately considered countless possibilities.
He paused, then walked over and sat down next to Fu Chi, asking, "What do you mean?"
After lying in the hospital bed for several days, Fu Chi had indeed suffered a great deal. He looked much thinner and his complexion was not as good as before, but even so, it did not diminish his good looks.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Fu Chi's sickly beauty made her appear both fragile and lovely.
Seeing his state, Xia Zhiyi's already strained attitude softened unconsciously.
If it weren't for what happened last night, Xia Zhiyi would have rushed over to comfort Fu Chi the moment Fu Chi up, instead of looking at him with a hint of wariness.
In particular, after Fu Chi woke up, although he didn't look at him with the same cold eyes as yesterday, he accurately called out the nickname they only used in private, and his attitude towards him seemed no different from before, with a gentleness that was unique to Xia Zhiyi.
However, the sense of incongruity about him still lingers.
Xia Zhiyi could sense that the person was still the same, but some changes had indeed occurred in him that he was unaware of.
Now, it all depends on whether Fu Chi is willing to tell him.
As if knowing his worries, Fu Chi moved his hand, which was in a cast, after Xia Zhiyi sat down, as if he wanted to reach out to him.
Xia Zhiyi pressed him down calmly, looking at him. "You're injured, don't move around."
Fu Chi's other hand was receiving an IV drip, so he was clearly unable to move it at this time.
After being held down, Fu Chi was very obedient and stopped trying to raise his hand.
Those deep eyes gazed at him Jingjing, holding the tenderness and affection that Xia Zhiyi had always seen whenever they looked at each other, but also a complexity that Xia Zhiyi couldn't understand at this moment.
After a long silence, just when Xia Zhiyi he wouldn't speak again, Fu Chi said softly, "I had a dream."
"A very long dream."
"You're not in my dreams."
Xia Zhiyi was stunned.
His mind raced, but in the end, all those guesses in his heart, those thoughts that even made Xia Zhiyi Zhiyi's scalp tingle, came to his lips under the man's deep gaze, ultimately condensing into just one sentence. "Oh, it was just a dream."
Xia Zhiyi Fu Chi's words meant that the dream he spoke of might not actually be just a dream.
There are many speculations.
For example, could this accident, by some twist of fate, cause Fu Chi to dream of the various events that unfolded in his first life in this world?
For example, could this be a hidden trick left in that disgusting plot, such as distorting some facts and then using it to make Fu Chi...
And no matter how many speculations there were, in the end, Xia Zhiyi only said this one sentence.
Regardless of what happened in his dream, or what Fu Chi saw, he eventually woke up and saw himself.
Those were all just dreams.
He's right here.
Even if he completely offends the plot and breaks ties with that invisible force, becoming mortal enemies, as long as he is strong enough, the so-called plot cannot kill him and will eventually disappear.
As long as he's strong enough.
It's not just about his personal strength, but also the Xia Zhiyi and merit he accumulated over the many worlds and missions he's undertaken, which allows him to easily break free from the control of the so-called plot.
This is Xia Zhiyi.
Fu Chi gazed intently at him, and after a moment, echoed Xia Zhiyi's words, "Yes, that was just a dream."
Regardless of what happened in his dream, he eventually returned to reality.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Xia Zhiyi ultimately did not ask Fu Chi who the person who woke up last night was, given what he said.
He simply asked, "If you've truly forgotten me..."
Fu Chi, unusually, interrupted him, "I won't forget you."
Xia Zhiyi paused, looking at him.
Fu Chi neither flinched nor avoided his gaze, simply meeting his eyes.
A few seconds, or perhaps a few minutes, passed before the man sighed softly and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm in such a sorry state right now, even if I wanted to hug you, I couldn't..."
Xia Zhiyi walked over, sat down beside his bed, Jingjing looked at him. "I've remembered what you just said."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chi paused for a moment, smiled, and said with a hint of doting in his eyes, "Okay."
The matter seemed to have passed just like that.
Xia Zhiyi reached out and looked at Fu Chi's hand, which was in a cast. After confirming that there was no problem from Fu Chi's slight movement, she said with a hint of complaint, "Your sudden accident really scared us."
Fu Chi: "I'm sorry."
Xia Zhiyi: "Why are you apologizing? Grandpa already said it wasn't an accident you wanted to happen."
"However, while you were unconscious these past few days, the old man and Fu Yunyi were extremely busy trying to stabilize the situation."
Fu Chi: "I just talked to Dad. Now that I'm awake, I can handle some things at the company; I'll have my assistant bring them over later..."
Xia Zhiyi frowned. "There's no need to rush. Your injury this time is quite serious. Resting and recuperating is the most important thing."
Fu Chi: "It's nothing. We've been attacked a few times before, this one just looks a bit more serious..."
Xia Zhiyi looked at him Jingjing.
Fu Chi compromised. "Okay, but I definitely can't just abandon the company."
Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, I know. I just don't want you to have to worry about company matters at a time like this. You can manage the overall situation, right?"
Fu Chi nodded.
Xia Zhiyi: "That's fine then."
Fu Chi then inquired about the aftermath of the car accident and learned that someone had lost their life in the incident. Fu Chi remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, "I'll have someone send them some supplies later."
"The old man made arrangements after hearing the news."
The victim's family was naturally heartbroken, but the perpetrator... The old man, out of kindness, offered some humanitarian assistance after learning about the incident.
At his age, the old man naturally understands the meaning of "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." In this incident, his family was also a victim, so it was impossible for them to pay the compensation on behalf of the perpetrator just because they felt sorry for the other party.
Xia Zhiyi wasn't worried about how the old man would handle it.
Fu Yunyi, being young, was a bit naive when he learned about this and wanted to give the money directly.
I got a good scolding from the old man.
